Abstract
Neurocognitive functioning of male and female prison inmates (N = 7521) was examined longitudinally (ranging from 1 to 8 years) by self-report. Results revealed that female inmates scored significantly poorer on most measures of neurocognitive functioning, initially and over time compared to males. Future research is warranted.
